  2. Dear PCK,
    You will like the new assembly ground@open air with a podium and steps, for alternative for the 17th feb a'la pioneers class reunion photo. Do you think it would be of help that we standby some school uniforms for your homecoming trip... Too bad the guys will have to wear long olive green pants unlike the thigh-hugging shorts back in the 70s; i would like a peek at your 70s school outfit woooo.....

    Sorry for breaking off in lakia wa...
    Here is the translation: ..or CNY attire, as long as you come. We in school are most happy awaiting your impending homecoming and celebration on the third day of the week(lakia's count), 17th.
    Any floor u wish to step on, do feel free to do so. Maybe you would like to address the crowd at the podium on the open-air assembly ground...

  7. Hi PCK,
    You should try to locate your desk and chair where you were always seated in the classroom:the last seat at the last row:where the brooms and dust pans storage next to you.You were a quite & shy boy during school days but not now any more....you have changed a lot!!!.

  9. Uncle Fatt Khiong,
    One night in April 2007, some fella burnt down "ye old smokehouse", if it is the shed at the far right end of the present-day entrance. Coincidence, that you guys should use that smokehouse too. But as youngsters then.. Then it evolved into a squat-ter for the ---(can't print it here, tell you in person when you visit k)

    whoa, and sorry for not clarifying a bit more. The school and PTA@PIBG did rally around to rebuild the general workers' store(term now used)at the slope behind school hall. Nice-looking bungalow... Actually we don't mind the hype by the YBs except we know there are many constraints that cannot be overcome[and unprintable here]. The pioneers' gathering on broadcast, paper and IT-media are very powerful in reviving public interest; just that we civil servants have a gag-order. Which is good, coz we carry on doing what we are best at, managing the school and bringing up the adorable mischievous kids.

  12. ANONYMOUS,

    PLEASE...NO UNWARRANTED COMMENTS ON POLITICS & POLITICIANS ON THIS BLOG...THERE ARE PROPER PLACES FOR SUCH COMMENTS...BUT IN THIS BLOG, WE TOWNIANS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN...OFFENCE, OK?

    ReplyDelete
  13. To Thomas,...thanks for the reminder ( I dont felt offended and to Poh Meng Eng thanks for your clarification...good job done.. maybe it's the bigger cost to re build the block and the fund budget might have to be from different channel ( no state's fund), Well at least I raise this issue in such a concerned manner hoping to attract all Townians to come together so as to suggest whichever possible way to expedite the re buliding of the building. Like Siong Mong said pity his daughter having to study sience subject in other building,.. imagine other parents childern had went & going through this . We understand the school management responsibilities perimeter and that's the reason I raise in such a manner Maybe it is the right time now (BB night) to inform this matter,...raising money to build the building is not a good ideal as this might encourange the tendnecy to "slash" the school budget in future allocation..What's the delay in the conclusion to rebuild..?.. I am sure all Townians need the answer as we all care and that's why you have BB Apologise to raise up this matter... To this blog administer,.... at least take serious note in this matter instead of just casual chatting ..I don;t mean to be blunt & rude, is just we are care ..sorry no offence..
    (Cheerful tone: WISHING ALL TOWNIANS A HAPPY, PROEROUS & HEALTHY CHINESE NEW YEAR.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..make them hear you,....hahahahaha..............hehehe..)To all drinkers attendung BB,... You Drink, Don't Drive....!... enjoy yourselves...Hua Hee Too Hoh!

  14. Dear Anonymous HHH,

    I am very touch by your concern of present KTGSS or SMKBK1 . As blog administrators, we are trying our best to keep the blog alive by disseminating as much info past and present, we even have a Radio Talk show of our BB2010. In as much as we want fun and laughters, we are also not forgetting our social responsibility within our means.
    As you are aware, we have started the ball rolling with our cookie jar with only 3 response, we also have posted our 'Milo Tin' campaign but no response. You know, Kuching people are very shy . Reassured, Thomas said that there are a lot who have pledged to support. We will have our 'Milo Tin ' at the entrance.
    My friend , I am looking forward to meet you and your support for our little cause for KTGSS.
    Cheers.

  21. David,
    You, together with the others esp the OC, did a marvellous job. Please do not lose your head over the donation by Anon HHH. i have been following AHHH's comments since i got 'adopted' along with Isabella to be in the TP's bandwagon. i believe he does exist though for reasons best known to him/her?, the identity can't be divulged. i also believe in him honoring his pledge.
    Anon HHH,
    The hidden intrigue lends a certain degree of interest for me as a follower of this blog. You seem to know of the many innings and characteristic traits of some pioneers. Sans your tongue-in-cheek comments which unfortunately have been removed of late these past 2 days, i am not abashed to declare on behalf of our sch PTA, we certainly welcome any donation, be it in cash or kind. FYI, Isabella and i have thickened our faces umpteen times to ask, which we got, for our beloved sch. $$ is an ultra-sensitive issue for many people, all the more for the BB OC, when they have posted earlier the numerous jars' donors. So please(hope it isn't offensive to ask) get in touch with me at your own pace whilst maintaining the one-and-only AHHH identity.

  28. Anonymous HHH,
    If you want to donate to PTA just donate lah. Why so difficult?. You said you dont know David phone number lah and this and that. Every bodies know David phone no. as he had put it up in the blog. Just donate any amount big or small no problem but no 'lau chien'. OK if you really donate I will not call you HIV and I will sincerly apologise to you in this blog. Dont worry I will not even want to know who are you and you can remain as HHH.
    David, if HHH really donate just give me a call and I as a gentle man and mark my words, I will apologise to him. I will withdraw the words 'H...'

    I HAVE TO STOP THIS PROVOCATION AND CONFRONTATION AND KEEP SITUATION COOL....ITS BECOMING MORE HEATY!!!!!!!!!!!.....please!!!!!.....PLEASE!!!!!!! slow down........and to Anonymous HHH I need your corporation to keep cool for the time being..........AND also the blog Administrators' discretion in removing provocative and condemning comments by Townian bloggers and if it meant well then post it....

    Dear Fellow Townians.....
    I have been going through the blog for the last few days and found that provocations, harrassment and harsh words have been used to unnecessarily bombarded HHH and I personally like to convey my thoughts to those words which I find it unfriendly. A person who is not sincere or honor in his words would not come back to the blog to give his thoughts and comments after so much bombardment. He would have shy away and that might be the end of the story. Before donation of his pledge is not received we cannot assume that he is not honoring his pledge. Its too early to condemn HHH a nuisance, a misfit or a disgrace and likewise with one of our fellow townian who was unable to attend due to some technical problems while he was away on holiday. There was no mention of the contribution to the Cookie Jar. The remarks on the both of them in the blog sounds provocative and this would create tension. I suggest that the remarks be removed.

    I am still open to the positive comments of anonymous HHH but every time I went into the blog, the comments are removed. There is nothing I could do to reply to his comments but only has to wait for the pledge he made that is RM500.00 in which he said he would call me. Unfortunately there is still no call from the anonymous HHH. He has explained clearly in the blog of his intention for the donation and I think we should give him some time.

    I agree with Poh Meng Eng's comments and believe that this HHH will honor his pledge of RM500.00 to KTGSS PTA. If we were to go back to the comments by HHH ( Feb. 16, 2010 10:48pm) I think he meant well and its the game he wants to play. If he doesn't want to reveal his name so be it. Since the day HHH commented in the blog, he has not stop commenting but what I saw in the blog many of his recent comments are removed.

    Anthony Chan is trying to entertain HHH but without knowing what is HHH comments there is nothing he can do & I presume many other Townians do agree that we need to give HHH the space and time.

    Please don't make this blog into a war zone. If the comments by the townian is sensitive and provocative, the administrators' discretion is needed to cool the situation down. There are few provocative statements hitting at HHH which I find it unnecessary and should be removed. Teachers, students, fellow ex-students and the public can access to the blog and this happenings can be read and just because of a minor misunderstanding this negative impact spoil the show. Don't let this backyard problems spill over the fence.

    TO ALL THE ANONYMOUS AND BLOG ADMINISTRATORS WE HAVE TO PLAY BY OUR OBJECTIVES COS WE ARE 1KTGSS TOWNIAN FAMILY.
    IF I HAVE PEN ANY WORDS OF COMMENTS THAT MIGHT HAVE OFFENDED YOU GUYS AND GALS I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

    HAVE A NICE DAY....... 1ktgssTownianFamily
